Movies and Sci-Fi authors give us what we’d want to see. They give us a vision of what we would want to do, want to achieve.

Whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur, chances are if you’re like the 90% of people out there, you spend most days feeling like the whipping boy.

And whether you decide to go to the movies, the club, the casino, or just veg out on the sofa, chances are you’re escape into another reality. Either to free yourself from the strains for a moment, or to picture yourself in another reality, even if it’s just for 2 hours.

You might be waiting for the next motivational seminar to roll into town, or the next Internet Marketing guru to inspire you with how you can make dollars (tons of them) in your sleep.

But the reality is: You make your own bed.

You make your own reality.

After Anthony Robbins has collected that couple of thousand from you and made you feel really great for those couple of days, you’re back to being you.

How does that feel?

What if you could shape your own reality?

What if you could shift reality?

Can you see yourself being successful?

What would it feel like?

What would your new reality be?

Here’s how your visualized reality can become a part of your reality:

You hold the picture in your mind.

You take action every day to move closer to that reality.

The problem with highly intelligent people is that they think too much.

And the problem with thinking is that unless you’re a consultant dispensing advice and being handsomely rewarded for it, you won’t change your reality.

Although I’ve heard these words probably close to a year ago, the words ring true as much today as when I first heard them.

The Buddhist monk and teacher Adjahn Brahm said:

Doing something is easy. Thinking about it is hard.

The most powerful phrase I’ve heard from him and which keeps me motivated is:

This post is one of the reasons you have become on of my favorite bloggers within 24 hours of first reading your stuff. Mucho props.

When I first took over marketing at my company, we were in a serious bind. Losing money, down millions, and lots of problems (due to the old marketing regime and their “branding”). Times where rough. Within two years we went from almost going out of business to buying buildings, planes, and tripling our staff to handle all the business. We are now a multiBILLION dollars company.

We did this because we HAD to. People are capable of amazing things when their backs are against the wall. Now that we are big dawgs in our industry, I am working on reinforcing the HUNGER and the reasons for it. I’ll be sharing this post with my team, as it will certainly help reinforce the vision I want to instill in my future leaders. 🙂
